“During my recent implementation, I leveraged its capabilities to build high-performance custom workflows that required precision and scalability. While the platform offers extensive "out-of-the-box" features, its true power emerged when I integrated custom code.“

### "Great IT Ticketing System"

July 10, 2026

5.0

We use Freshservice for ticket management, change management, knowledge base, and more. Most of all, it has been a very helpful tool for our IT team to manage incidents, feature requests, and projects.

Pros

With this platform, there's a clean interface, you can efficiently manage tickets, customize fields, automate ticket properties, integrate with Slack, and more.

Cons

It would be nice to have a few more features. For examples: - the ability to edit ticket work type on the list view - have a list view of both tickets assigned to me and tickets I'm watching - set colors of tickets based on field properties

### "Good and bad, but really just good"

May 20, 2026

5.0

Pros

I love their support. it is so easy to get in touch and get the help you need when you need it. They walk you through the steps to fix problems and find you solutions,

Cons

There are not any cons for our use case of Freshservice. It is our IT ticketing system and automation support ticketing system, if we want it to do something it is low code to automate it or easy to call and get a walk through for it.

### "Thought out layout but too expensive "

February 20, 2025

3.0

It was significant other than the overall price. It made us completely take it off of the possible software uses for us.

Pros

Our business enjoyed the organization of the setup and how easy it was to find everything we needed. We used the Purchase Order system the most.

Cons

The one thing that turned us away was its priceThe main reason we decided not to continue using their service was the price. As a small business, the cost they were asking for was higher than we could fit into our budget, especially for purchase orders. Once the trial period ended, we stopped using their service.. As a small business, they were asking for a price higher than we could add to the budget to use it, mainly for purchase orders. As soon as the trial ended, we no longer used them.

### "My honest review for Fresh service "

May 15, 2026

4.0

My overall experience with Freshservice has been very positive, although there are still areas that could be improved. One enhancement that would be very helpful is more flexible and user-friendly reporting, especially for tracking updated or worked-on tickets. For example, having an easier way to generate reports showing all tickets an agent has touched within a weekly or monthly period would greatly improve operational visibility and performance tracking. Currently, this option seems limited or not easily accessible within Analytics.

Pros

One of the features I really love in Freshservice is the execution scenarios that can be manually configured to help automate tasks and make ticket handling much faster and more efficient. I also appreciate the new AI capabilities, especially the AI-generated email responses, which help improve response time, consistency, and overall productivity for Service Desk operations.

Cons

One area I would like to see improved in Freshservice is the Knowledge Base functionality. It would be beneficial to have more category and classification options to better organize KB articles, especially for larger environments with multiple support groups and services. Additionally, adding more customization and formatting features would help make KB articles more visually appealing, engaging, and easier for end users to follow.

[ServiceNow](https://www.capterra.com/p/254088/ServiceNow/)

We transitioned from ServiceNow to Freshservice approximately four years ago as part of our effort to improve and modernize our IT Service Management operations. Since the transition, Freshservice has provided a more user-friendly and intuitive platform for both agents and end users, helping streamline ticket management, service requests, and overall support operations. The platform has also continued to evolve over the years, especially with the addition of AI-driven features and automation capabilities that help improve efficiency, response times, and user experience across the Service Desk.

### "Great Tool for Helpdesk "

July 14, 2026

5.0

We've had a good experience using Freshservice so far. It has become a part of our daily operations, especially for handling developer tickets, customer issues, service requests, and incident tracking. The dashboards make it easy to see what's pending, and SLA tracking helps us stay on top of response times. Our team doesn't have to chase updates anymore because everything is available in one place. Overall, it's a dependable platform that has helped us improve the way we manage support.

Pros

We introduced Freshservice while looking for a better way to manage internal support and customer requests. Before that, we were juggling emails and spreadsheets, which often led to missed updates. After moving to Freshservice, everything became much easier to track. Tickets are well organized, it's simple to assign work to the right person, and everyone can see the current status without asking around. The automation features have also reduced a lot of repetitive work.

Cons

There wasn't much to complain about, but we did spend some time adjusting workflows during the initial setup. Once we understood how everything worked, the system fit our process quite well. More ready-to-use templates for different industries would be a nice addition.

### "Simple, dependable helpdesk ticketing with solid automation"

July 7, 2026

4.0

On the whole, it's been a dependable tool for handling helpdesk requests. Tickets move through the system smoothly, automation takes a lot of the repetitive work off the team's plate, and new agents pick it up fast. It's not without rough edges - reporting flexibility and mobile features could definitely be better - but for day-to-day ticket management it gets the job done well and hasn't given us major headaches.

Pros

The biggest plus for us has been how simple it is to manage day-to-day support tickets without a messy learning curve. The interface is clean, so agents can jump in and start working tickets without needing weeks of training. Automation has been a real time-saver too - auto-assigning tickets, sending reminders, escalating anything that's overdue, all without someone having to babysit it manually. The knowledge base feature has also cut down on repetitive tickets since users can often find answers themselves before raising a request. Whenever we've needed help, support has been quick to respond and actually useful, not just scripted replies.

Cons

Reporting is probably the weakest part. The built-in dashboards cover the basics fine, but if you want something more custom, it gets a bit fiddly and you often end up pulling the data out to work with it elsewhere. The mobile app is another area that needs work - some ticket actions that are easy on desktop just aren't there on mobile yet, which slows things down when you're away from your laptop. Pricing structure can also be a little confusing at first since it's not always obvious what's bundled into each plan.

### "Solid ITSM tool, automation makes a real difference"

July 2, 2026

5.0

Been using Freshservice for our IT team and honestly it's made day to day support so much easier. Ticket management is solid, everything stays organized and resolution times have gone down since we started using it. The automation is probably my favorite part, ticket routing and escalations just happen on their own now instead of someone manually assigning stuff. Asset tracking is also handy, having hardware and software info right next to the tickets saves a lot of back and forth during audits. Not everything's perfect though. Reporting could be more flexible, we usually export stuff to Excel to build the reports we actually need. Mobile app is a bit clunky too when you're trying to update something quickly on the go. Pricing goes up once you add the automation and asset features, so worth keeping in mind if you're a smaller team. Still, it's the tool we rely on daily and I'd recommend it if you want your support process to feel less chaotic.

Pros

We've been using Freshservice for almost 2 years now across our IT support team, and honestly it's become one of those tools we don't even think twice about anymore, it just works. The ticket management system is probably my favorite part; everything is organized in a way that actually makes sense, and our resolution times have noticeably improved since we moved to it. What I really appreciate is how easy it was to get the team onboarded, we didn't need a ton of training, most people picked it up within a few days. The workflow automation has honestly saved us so much manual work. We've set up automated ticket routing and escalation rules that used to take someone sitting there manually assigning tickets, and now it just happens. Asset management is another strong point for us, being able to track hardware/software assets alongside tickets in one place instead of juggling separate spreadsheets has made audits way less painful. Customer support from Freshservice's side has also been solid whenever we've run into issues, responsive and they actually solve the problem instead of just sending generic articles.

Cons

If I'm being honest, the reporting/analytics dashboard could use more customization, we sometimes have to export data and build our own reports in Excel to get the exact view we need for management. Also, the mobile app feels a bit clunky compared to the desktop version, especially when trying to update tickets on the go. Pricing tiers can also get expensive once you start needing the more advanced automation and asset management features, so smaller teams might feel that jump. Overall though, none of these are dealbreakers, after 2 years, it's still our go-to tool and I'd recommend it to any team looking to get their IT service management organized.

### "Powerful ITSM Platform with Excellent Customer Support and Automation"

June 1, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Freshservice has been very positive. The platform has helped improve service desk efficiency, reduce ticket resolution times, and enhance visibility across support operations. Its intuitive design allowed our team to adopt the system quickly, while automation features streamlined repetitive tasks and improved productivity. The platform delivers strong value for money by combining ticket management, asset management, workflow automation, reporting, and self-service capabilities into a single solution. Customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever assistance was required. Overall, Freshservice is a reliable, feature-rich IT service management platform that has made our support processes more organized, efficient, and scalable.

Pros

Freshservice offers an excellent balance between powerful functionality and ease of use. The ticket management system is intuitive, making it easy to track, prioritize, and resolve incidents efficiently. Workflow automation has significantly reduced manual effort, while the self-service portal and knowledge base help users find answers quickly. I also appreciate the customization options, detailed reporting, asset management capabilities, and the clean, modern interface that simplifies daily operations.

Cons

Although Freshservice provides extensive customization and advanced features, some configurations can require additional setup time and a learning curve for administrators. Creating highly customized reports may not be as straightforward for new users, and certain advanced features are available only in higher-tier plans. However, these limitations are relatively minor compared to the overall value the platform provides.

### "A Reliable ITSM Platform That Gets the Basics Right"

May 27, 2026

5.0

Freshservice is a cloud-based ITSM platform that strikes a practical balance between functionality and usability. Its clean interface and short learning curve make onboarding straightforward, and the core modules — incident, problem, change, and asset management with a built-in CMDB — cover most day-to-day IT operations without heavy configuration. Automation and integrations help consolidate fragmented tooling, and reporting dashboards give decent operational visibility. The trade-offs show up at the edges: advanced customization, deep reporting, and complex integrations can feel constrained, often requiring workarounds or higher-tier plans. AI-assisted features are improving but not consistently reliable. Overall, it's a strong fit for small and mid-sized IT teams; larger enterprises with complex needs may find it limiting.

Pros

\-Clean, straightforward interface that doesn't require much training to become productive — not over-architected like some competitors, which makes onboarding fast for IT teams. -Strong core ITSM coverage out of the box — incident, problem, change, and asset management plus a CMDB on a single platform, so teams can consolidate fragmented tooling. -Automation of ticketing and asset tracking reduces manual work and downtime, which is the most commonly praised efficiency win. -Centralizes requests and offers solid collaboration through integrations, helping teams move off patchwork tools (separate ticketing, asset, and PM systems). -Real-time reporting and dashboards support data-driven decisions, and the platform is GDPR-compliant with SSO, role-based access, IP whitelisting, and MFA available. -Generally seen as offering good value relative to ServiceNow and Jira Service Management, especially for small and mid-sized IT teams.

Cons

\-Custom workflows can feel limiting on the base tier, particularly for more advanced automation — you often need to move up a plan to unlock what you actually need. -Advanced customization is less flexible than expected; tailoring reports to non-standard data points often requires workarounds. -Reporting is restrictive — users note you can't always pull the views you want (for example, reports on conversations or replies). -Large data imports can get stuck, which isn't a problem seen as often in competing tools. -AI features, while improved, still misclassify or escalate nuanced requests incorrectly. -Integrations with external systems can be complex and may require specialist skills; scaling to very large enterprises can expose limits in handling peak ticket volumes. -Pricing perception varies — some smaller buyers in recent Capterra reviews flagged value-for-money concerns at higher tiers.

So far managers is able to track the ticket and target what is the most common issue. We will have monthly report in which we put in our slides.

Pros

Able to let user open ticket, for HR, have OnBoarding. Able to keep track instead of manually inform other IT admin that there is a case

Cons

The admin have to pay extra. Sometimes we need to have whole IT group inside. Not really suitable for small company less than 100 as people will still walk to IT dept for help. If changes to management have to manually change

### "Well-structured platform for managing IT support teams efficiently"

March 30, 2026

5.0

Overall, the experience has been steady and reliable. It has improved how we manage incoming requests and distribute work across the team. From a management point of view, it gives better control over SLAs and performance tracking. Once the system is properly configured, it supports daily operations without much friction and helps maintain consistency in support delivery.

Pros

From a team lead perspective, Freshservice helps keep support operations organized and predictable. The ticket flow is clear, and it’s easy to track who is handling what. Features like SLA tracking and automation reduce follow-ups and help the team stay aligned. It also gives good visibility into workloads, which makes it easier to manage the team during peak hours.

Cons

Initial setup and fine-tuning workflows can take some time, especially when aligning with existing processes. Reporting is useful, but more flexibility in customization would help for deeper analysis. Also, cost can be a factor when scaling the team.

### "Reliable ITSM tool with Strong Automation and Clean UI"

March 16, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Freshservice has been very positive & Great. It provides a reliable ITSM platform that simplifies incident management processes. The UI is well designed and feels modern, making navigation and daily operations easier for IT teams. The ticketing system is well organized, automation features help reduce manual workload and the platform offers good visibility into IT operations. It also supports better collaboration between IT teams through centralized request tracking and workflow management. With proper configuration, Freshservice can significantly improve service delivery efficiency and operational control.

Pros

Freshservice provides a well-structured ITSM platform with a clean UI and smooth ticket lifecycle management. Incident, problem, and change management workflows are easy to configure and help standardize support operations. Automation rules and workflow orchestration reduce manual effort and improve response efficiency. The platform also integrates well with other tools, which helps maintain better visibility across IT operations. Overall, it improves team collaboration, request tracking, and service delivery performance.

Cons

Some advanced configurations require time to understand, especially when setting up complex workflow automations and integrations. Reporting customization can also be limited for organizations that require very detailed analytics. Initial setup for large environments may require careful planning to properly configure service catalogs, asset management, and automation rules.

### "They are actually Uncomplicating it for their customers"

March 12, 2026

5.0

Excellent, they have actually uncomplicated ITSM and Enterprise Service Management. We moved from a market-leader, which was cumbersome, expensive, and nearly impossible to manage without a large, dedicated team.

Pros

Very affordable compared to competitors. It is easy to manage, maintain, and develop without a dedicated team, which is very helpful!

Cons

Some features/enhancements take years to implement. We've had enhancement requests that are system-wide, not specific to us as a customer and they still haven't been rolled out after 3-4 years of being on their 'Roadmap'.

The Ease of getting it set up and the impact it made on our day to day IT support process - the Knowledge base is also a winner and we love the custom portal.

### "The best ITSM tool in all the areas that matter."

March 16, 2026

5.0

Overall it is the best ITSM tool I have ever used. It is the best combination of price, ease of use and extensibility.

Pros

Ease of use reduces operational cost, and increases ROI on CSI and automation initiatives. Integrations are simple to implement. Very responsive support team!

Cons

Integrations are not always clear, often rely on third parties (not clear how they are involved with your data either). Out of the box integrations not as braod as some competitors. The available licensing is not as flexible as other tools. Access permissions (e.g., what parts of the system you can administer) are not granular (e.g., need to be admin to do simple things like add Vendor). Base-level CMDB functionality could be better - especially for software.

### "Great value for money"

January 16, 2026

5.0

All in all, I think Freshservice is great value for money and it gives you almost all the tools you need for small and medium sized companies. At a company of 300 users with a small IT team (meaning no team dedicated to ITSM systems), Freshservice has been great

Pros

The interface is easy to use, making it easy for me to delegate tasks to workspace admins for them to manage their own setup. The automation engine is also a great tool considering the price. In my experience, the team at Freshworks has been supportive whenever I needed them.

Cons

In some areas, like the visible fields, I would like some more options for customizing it. Several apps/add-ins (such as the Intune integration) is still lacking compared to competition and appears unstable.

May 15, 2026

5.0

Overall, I am a happy first time user of the tool and find it exceptionally user friendly and easy to use. I have recommended colleagues in the field who may be fed up with some of your competitors that they should give Freshservice a look.

Pros

Prompt and friendly customer service. Get a wide range of functionality and services in a single license without having to constantly be triggered to buy add-ons. My service team is engaged and constantly bringing forward ideas and solutions to help improve my organization and the use of the product. In addition the user interface is straight-forward and easy to pickup for administration of the environment. Prior to my current role I had not used or been aware of Freshservice and it was easy to pickup and begin being productive in from day 1.

Cons

The only negative that I've experienced has been with being able to develop my own dashboards to call out the information that is important for my role. I've struggled a bit in getting the reporting just right for what I'm looking for. I generally like to do things on my own, and there was some frustrations in being able to get what I needed. However, on the flip side of that I was able to reach out to my account team and they helped build out what I was looking for quickly.

### "Good support tool for handling day-to-day IT and network issues"

April 4, 2026

5.0

In day-to-day work, it has been helpful in managing requests and keeping track of ongoing issues. It gives better visibility compared to manual tracking or emails. From a network support side, it helps in maintaining proper records and makes coordination easier when multiple teams are involved. Once everything is set, it runs smoothly.

Pros

What I like is how it keeps everything in one place when handling issues. For network-related tickets, having proper details and history helps a lot during troubleshooting. It’s easy to check updates, assign tasks, and follow up without confusion. The system also helps reduce back-and-forth communication between teams.

Cons

Sometimes it takes time to adjust things based on how we actually work, especially when customizing workflows. Also, while handling multiple tickets together, it can feel a bit slow. Reporting is there, but getting exactly what we need requires some effort.

### "Efficient and User-Friendly ITSM Tool with Strong Automation Capabilities"

March 29, 2026

4.0

Overall, Freshservice is a reliable and efficient ITSM platform that streamlines service desk operations and improves team collaboration. It strikes a good balance between usability and functionality, making it suitable for both mid-sized and large organizations. While there are minor drawbacks in reporting and support responsiveness, the platform delivers consistent performance and automation benefits that save time and improve service quality.

Pros

Freshservice offers strong value for money with a rich feature set that supports ITSM processes end-to-end. The interface is intuitive, making it easy for teams to adopt quickly without heavy training. Automation capabilities significantly improve efficiency by reducing manual tasks, especially in ticket routing and SLA management. Collaboration tools, such as shared ownership and internal notes, enhance team productivity. Integration with Microsoft and other tools is smooth, enabling centralized workflows and better visibility across systems.

Cons

Customer support can sometimes be slow or inconsistent when handling complex issues. Certain advanced configurations, especially in automation and workflows, are not very user-friendly and may require trial and error. Reporting and analytics, while useful, feel somewhat limited and lack deeper customization. Occasional bugs and UI glitches can disrupt workflows. Additionally, some integrations require extra setup effort or paid tiers, which can impact overall value.

### "Good service!"

January 27, 2026

4.0

Overall, the experience is good. Taking the time to fix the issues I mentioned will make it better for me.

Pros

Navigating and learning the basic functions as a regular team member is relatively easy, but delving into more advanced features can be challenging. I've encountered some issues with the Freshservice representatives, as they sometimes struggle to understand my needs, possibly due to a language barrier. I believe they need to improve the workflow because some of the data I require is only available in Freshdesk, which we don't need to use. Additionally, I've experienced issues with certain workflows that have never worked, even with a representative's assistance. On a positive note, I appreciate the ability to use Single Sign-On (SSO) with our Microsoft products, as it makes me feel more secure.

Cons

Some features in the workflow need additional fixing. The API is not functional most of the time. We require more detailed information when retrieving analytics, such as the number of tickets each member has for the year. I was unable to create a graph with the basic analytics provided.

### "A powerful and user friendly tool that simplifies user support"

January 15, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Freshservice has been very positive. Even while I am still learning the platform, it already feels like a powerful and reliable tool that helps me deliver better service to my users. It has clearly improved how support requests are handled and has made IT service management more structured and efficient.

Pros

What I like most about Freshservice is how much it simplifies day-to-day user support. The interface is clean and easy to use, which has helped me quickly adapt while continuing to learn the platform. Ticket management, automation, and the self-service portal make it much easier to stay organized and provide faster, more consistent support to users.

Cons

I am still learning all the features, and some advanced capabilities especially AI powered tools are limited to higher-tier plans. I would love to see AI included in lower plans so teams can fully experience the potential Freshservice has to offer and better understand its value early on.

### "FreshService experience"

March 12, 2026

5.0

Our overall experience has been great, we love how efficient it works with all the communications, the indented responses, the merging, the option of managing the categories for the issues requests. We think in general it is an amazing product that FreshService should be proud of.

Pros

This is a great tool for IT support teams, and I believe it can be use for another teams in an organization like Facilities. We love the fact that we can create a KB with solutions and point them on our replies to issues. The team can interact easily agent-to-agent and user-to-agent, and we can keep track of all issues in a very effective way.

Cons

We found it a little expensive, and it turned it was the fact that we were not using some of the included features in our license tier, so we are updating the plan in our next renewal. Maybe the AI component is not as good as expected, but we have not had the time to use it properly to full extent. The assets management is a little confusing and for some reason is not working great for all, but we have a MDM solution that manages all our devices, and because of that maybe we have not focused that well on this feature.

### "Simple, Reliable, and Easy to Use"

February 19, 2026

4.0

My overall experience with Freshservice has been very positive—it strikes a great balance between being powerful enough for complex ITSM needs and simple enough that teams can adopt it quickly. The interface feels modern and intuitive, the workflows help eliminate a lot of manual effort, and having incidents, service requests, assets, and automation all tied together creates a smooth, cohesive environment. While there are moments where you bump into feature limitations or paywall‑gated capabilities, the day‑to‑day usability and the clarity it brings to IT operations make it a genuinely helpful platform to work with.

Pros

Freshservice’s biggest strength, in my experience, is how effortlessly everything comes together in one clean, intuitive platform—its interface is easy to navigate, automation removes a ton of repetitive work, and the built‑in asset management gives you clear visibility without feeling overwhelming, making it a tool that genuinely improves daily workflows rather than adding complexity

Cons

The thing I liked least about Freshservice is that some of the more advanced features—especially around automation, asset discovery, and customization—can feel a bit limited unless you move up to higher‑tier plans, which makes it harder for smaller teams to fully leverage the platform. Additionally, certain configuration options aren’t as flexible as you’d expect from an ITSM tool, so you occasionally run into moments where you have to adapt your process to the system rather than the other way around.

### "Efficient Ticket Management with Room for Creative Collaboration Improvements"

March 19, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Freshservice has been positive. It helps maintain organization and ensures that no request is missed. As a graphic designer, it supports structured communication, although some improvements in creative collaboration features would make it even more effective.

Pros

Freshservice provides a clear and organized way to manage incoming requests. I especially like how tickets are structured, making it easy to track design tasks, communicate with requesters, and prioritize work efficiently. The interface is intuitive, which helps streamline my daily workflow as a graphic designer.

Cons

Sometimes the system can feel a bit rigid when handling creative requests, especially when more flexibility or visual context is needed. It would be helpful if there were better options for previewing design assets or collaborating visually within tickets.
